It's not enough that it has a transverse V6 in an engine bay crammed with twin turbos, twin intercoolers, all wheel drive, four wheel steering, electronically adjustable suspension, tunable exhaust and active aerodynamics...because it also has a folding metal roof. There's a reason these things weigh close to two tons.

How did they get so many morons in one place?

This is the What Car? reader preview of the 2 Active and it's like they found the most sensible and practical BMW customers out there. Or perhaps just the people who buy BMWs in the UK now. One says he's been waiting for a BMW like the 2 Active. Another says she doesn't drive in winter because of the rear-wheel drive…

It's a spark. Sorry Volvo.

Oh shut up.

Brabus are excellent at hacking Merc electronics. The things they can do with the ABC module are cool!

I like.

Hmm, perhaps a slightly skinnier tyre would make the car a little more lively - more wheelspin, perhaps even a bit of sideways action?

"We could have gone with regenerative braking but we didn't want to ruin the purity of the brake feel".

Reading between the lines: McLaren tried re-gen, McLaren couldn't get it to feel any good. Maybe they need to ask Maranello for some help...

Enzo donut success!

This is why V12 is always the answer.

I don't think I'll ever be that lucky mate :)

God they sound good! Next hour spent trolling used car markets for an SL55...

I love the TheFerrari - but for my money I'd buy the 918.
If I had the money.
Which I don't.
Now I'm sad.

Silly bad. Sounds like it should have come from Willy Wonkas' Workshop, and be covered in spirals and gaudy flashing lights. Oompa loompa orange doesn't help.

Sounds silly.

That poor wiper blade!

Yep, pretty much!

What if we compromise? Manual gets RWD, Auto stuck with AWD! Fair?

Wow, transverse FWD V8. What a fucking moronic combination.
